Lets farmers get flood insurance for barns more easily and offers single policies for multiple buildings.
This bill would make it easier for farmers to get flood insurance for their barns and other farm buildings, even if they don't meet strict elevation rules. It would also let owners of homes and businesses buy one flood insurance policy to cover all their buildings on the same property. This means more flexible insurance options for many property owners.
Today, communities must enforce strict elevation or floodproofing rules for buildings in flood zones, which can make it hard to insure farm structures. Also, there isn't a clear option for a single flood insurance policy covering multiple buildings on one property. After this bill, local officials could grant variances for farm buildings, making flood insurance more accessible for them. Property owners with multiple buildings would also have the option to buy one umbrella flood insurance policy.
